LOVE

A Reminder:
~ Learn to live in the moment. Far too many times I find myself wishing I’d been more observant to what I just experienced.

But yeah…
This is a love letter to myself, to nature, to those around me, and to moments.

I want to take a moment to express gratitude. To a balancing force. The force that in one way or another drives us to the extremes of Human nature.
LOVE…

To start, I want to send a positive burst of energy to those that give without asking. But more specifically, anyone who has shared that energy towards me.

People who, even when they have down to bare necessities, give graciously. You’re the people who’ve inspired me. You’ve taught me a new perspective to openness. Helped me lose a bit of the selfishness I’m sure I had at some point. TO BE ME.
You restore hope, make experiences, and have managed to transcend cultural and language barriers. You are, in your purest form, a reflection of love.

I now know not to limit my interactions with others. Be ambitious and take opportunities to make new connections. Because you never truly know how much an interaction can enrich you, or what new adventures await through a spontaneous friendship. The lessons you can be taught. The growth and happiness you can find and be blessed with.
Give a smile to a stranger.
Just give…
Now of course don’t be a pushover and guard yourself of who you give to (trust your intuition and learn through life) but share your worth with others.
Life is strange.

To nature.
Now I’m sure I’ve said this before but there’s something absolutely freeing about your presence in my life. Now I will keep yours shorter but boy have you given me something to look forward to every once in a while.
It’s just so necessary to escape into you.
To cleanse from society and restore myself.
Most times I feel like I should live within you, and my escapes should be to civilization.
But Maybe I’m crazy.

To the moments that have been breezing past.
Sometimes it’s hard not to want to hold on to you. And occasionally, I get lost trying to draw on pieces of you, to get you back. I Even forget you’re there. But isn’t that all the beauty of you. You’re always presence. There’s never a second, I don’t live in you. And every breath is a chance to grow and make the most of you. Thanks for being omnipresent, and oh so forgiving.
Each day a clean sheet to be everything I want to be.

To David A. Simmons…
YOU’RE FRIGGIN AMAZING
